: Going back to the earlier discussion of the pressure of gas in a paintgun's valve not meaning much about the pressure of gas that actually hits the ball, there is a nice article on barrel theory by Airgun Designs president Tom Kaye in the June 2002 issue of Action Pursuit Games magazine.

: In the article, he says that he's used pressure sensors to record the pressure spike actually hitting the ball, and that of the markers sampled (I know he's got a big collection, I've seen him often times trade E-Mags for other 'guns so his research collection could grow) the pressures actually hitting the ball range from 50-125 psi - and that's everything from "high pressure" to "low pressure" paintguns.

: See you on the field,

I don't know if this is just from the effect of wishful thinking but i recently went to very low pressure on my intimidator with a low pressure chamber and an third party reg and the ball seems to me to carry farther than it did before, it seems to not fly a certain distance and then just drop, it actually seems to fly in more a of a line. I was wondering if this had anything to do with low pressure. I know that shockers are supposed to have a farther range then most guns also(even though they seem the same to me) and they are very low pressure.
